Exegesis
The verse closes with the terse rhetorical question ti pros se {τί πρὸς σέ | ti pros se}, an idiom that dismisses Peter’s concern and redirects attention away from speculation and toward obedient following.
In context — John 21:23
Therefore this saying went out among the brothers that the disciple, that one, would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”
